|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 The \product{dynload} library encapsulates dynamic loading mechanisms and
|
|
|
24 gives access to functions in foreign dynamic libraries and code modules.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 \subsection{Loading code}
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 \begin{lstlisting}[language=c,label=dl-load]
|
|
|
29 void* dlLoadLibrary(const char* libpath);
|
|
|
30 void dlFreeLibrary(void* libhandle);
|
|
|
31 \end{lstlisting}
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 \lstinline{dlLoadLibrary} loads a dynamic library at \lstinline{libpath}
|
|
|
34 and returns a handle to it for use in \lstinline{dlFreeLibrary} and
|
|
|
35 \lstinline{dlFindSymbol} calls.
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 \lstinline{dlFreeLibrary} frees the loaded library with handle \lstinline{pLib}.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 \subsection{Retrieving functions}
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 \begin{lstlisting}[language=c]
|
|
|
42 void* dlFindSymbol(void* libhandle, const char* symbol);
|
|
|
43 \end{lstlisting}
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 returns a pointer to a symbol with name \lstinline{pSymbolName} in the
|
|
|
46 library with handle \lstinline{pLib}, or returns a null pointer if the symbol cannot
|
|
|
47 be found.
